The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Depends on how technical you want it. What's your background like? Med, Comp Sci, Eng, hobby? Most of the good stuff is in computer science or neurology books. Comp sci mostly focuses more on function, and neurology mostly focuses on form.

I'm currently reading "Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software" by Steven Johnson. It's a "pop-science" book, not technical at all, but is an interesting read and will help introduce the concepts of emergent behavior.

I'm currently writing my honours thesis on this subject. I'd suggest "Emergence: Contemporary readings in philosophy and science" edited by Mark Bedau and Paul Humphreys. "The Re-Emergence of Emergence:The Emergentist Hypothesis from Science to Religion" Edited by Paul Davies and Philip Clayton. "Emergence or Reduction?: Essays on the Prospects of Nonreductive Physicalism" by Ansgar Beckermann and Hans Flohr. Jaegwon Kim is a notable philosopher on the subject and Stuart Kauffman has written extensively on the subject so look for Kauffman's new book "Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason and Religion". I saw a lecture he gave about the book and he talks extensively about ontological emergence in it.
